2014 Turnbull Wine Cellars Leopoldina Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, USA 750ml

The 2014 Cabernet Franc Leopoldina Vineyard is a relatively small cuvée of just under 200 cases from their holdings in Oakville. Forest floor, spring flowers, blueberry, black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit soar from the glass of this dense ruby/purple wine that is medium-bodied, wonderfully intense and savory with judicious usage of oak barrels. It has wonderfully penetrating and vivid blue, red and black fruits and like most Cabernet Francs it is intense, but not heavy, and this is a classic example. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
